Yes, it would be possible technically, but I really see no need for it.  In
its' default, out-of-the-zipfile configuration, Hamster will not send or
retrieve e-mail messages (or newsgroup postings, for that matter)
automatically.  In order to send or retrieve messages, you must do one of
the following:

- write a script to send and retrieve messages that you trigger manually.
- the same script as above, but with additional code that allows it to be
triggered at specific times via Hamster's internal scheduler.
- configure actions, triggered by the posting of a message to Hamster, that
run the same script as in the first case above.

[At least, I think those are the only possibilities]

In your case, ISTM that the simplest solution is to have one Hamster
running on the LAN and let it do *all* the work...both internal and
external.  When the "Internet PC" is switched on and an Internet connection
is established, manually trigger a send/retrieve script and let Hamster do
its' thing.  Once Hamster is done, and assuming no other Internet-related
things need to be done, shut down the "Internet PC".
